FAQ
There are other testing services available today. What makes IAIS/IAS different?
Answer
IAIS/IAS is the most comprehensive assessment program available to schools:
IAIS/IAS covers Science, Mathematics, English and Computer Skills
IAIS/IAS caters for students of all abilities
IAIS/IAS questions use meaningful examples and authentic contexts
IAIS/IAS question booklets are presented in a visually appealing way to capture student attention and interest
The top performing IAIS/IAS students at each year level from each state, territory or country are awarded University Medals. Other high performing students receive certificates of high distinction, distinction and credit. All students who participate receive a UNSW Certificate acknowledging their achievement.
IAIS/IAS is also the only national and international assessment program which enables the tracking of individual student performance and progress from year to year. It is the depth of this information that can help teachers and schools tailor their teaching and learning programs to best meet the needs of their students.
Such information also enables parents to know with confidence the level of their child's performance in comparison to their peers in the state, territory or country.
IAIS/IAS reports provide more than just information on how individual students perform; schools receive an in-depth report on each year group indicating strengths and weaknesses, comparisons to state grade averages and tracking of year level progress from one year to the next.
Participation in IAIS/IAS provides students with valuable practice at taking formal examinations, preparing them for compulsory state-based assessments, assisting them to become more comfortable in answering questions and managing their time effectively under exam conditions.
